Breaking! Hudson 1.345 Released!

As I mentioned in the footer of the post on the Hudson 1.344 release, there were a couple big regressions in the 1.344 release that were causing a number of users issues (such as issue 5536 and issue 5546).

As a result, Kohsuke and the team have quickly pushed out a hot-fix release: 1.345. Here's the break down:

Bugs fixed:

  • Update center retrieval, "build now" link, and real-time console update was broken in 1.344. (issue 5536)
  • Fixed the backward incompatibility introduced in HUDSON-5391 fix in 1.344. (issue 5391)

If you have already updated to 1.344, your "Update Center" is most likely busted and you'll need to download the hudson.war file manually.

You can go grab the latest .war file straight from hudson-ci.org or if you're using a native package, use your package manager to upgrade.

Hudson 1.344 Released

The latest release of Hudson, 1.344, was released on February 5th, 2010. The release contains primarily bug-fixes but has a few enhancements baked into it as well. As mentioned in "Incoming! More Translations", 1.344 incorporates a number of community-driven translations (see the other post for more information). Additionally, 1.344 removes the "easter egg" background image I wrote about in a post to my personal blog: Mourning Sun.

Enough of the small talk, here's the breakdown.

Bugs fixed

  • Removed the forced upper casing in parameterized builds. (issue 5391)
  • Password parameter on the disk should be encrypted. (issue 5420)
  • Duplicate entries on Upstream/Downstream project with "Build modules in parallel". (issue 5293)
  • "Projects tied on" should be "Projects tied to". (issue 5451)
  • Fixed the bug that prevents update center metadata retrieval in Jetty. (issue 5210)


Enhancements

  • Show which plugins have already been upgraded in Plugin Manager. (issue 2313)
  • Show Hudson upgrade status on manage page instead of offering same upgrade again. (issue 3055)
  • Make badges in build history line up. (report)


Contributors

This release of Hudson contained 44 commits from 5 different contributors to "core":


As usual, you can go grab the latest .war file straight from hudson-ci.org or if you're using a native package, use your package manager to upgrade.


Update: This post was written a day before issue 5536 was discovered. I recommend waiting until 1.345 to update any production Hudson instances. <!--break-->

Incoming! More Translations

As Kohsuke mentioned on the dev@ mailing list on January 29th, another series of community translations of Hudson have been committed (r26764) and have been released with the Hudson 1.344 release.

The locales included in this update are:

  • Czech
  • Spanish
  • Finnish
  • French
  • Hungarian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Lithuanian
  • Norwegian
  • Dutch
  • Polish
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Slovenian
  • Swedish
  • Chinese (Simplified/Traditional)

If you're fluent in any of the locales above, check out the latest release of Hudson to verify that the translations are correct, if there's translations that you feel are incorrect, you can report them in JIRA.

The Hudson Internationalization project could always use some more help whether it be from patches or via the Translation Assistance Plugin.

Welcome to Continuous Blog!

Hello and welcome to "Continuous Blog", the official Hudson weblog! If you don't mind me saying so, I think its arrival is long overdue. Since Hudson started in November of 2006, there hasn't been a central "voice" for the project. In just a few short years Hudson has grown into a substantial project with hundreds of plugins and thousands of users around the world. Kohsuke's nice Java-based extensible continuous integration server has grown up into fantastic tool with a great community around it.

Goals for this weblog

I think it is important to set out a couple of goals for this weblog, some simple items that should help guide the content and discussion around Continuous Blog and its future.

Continuous Blog should:

  • Help advocate the use of Hudson to the larger internet community
  • Be a central source for tutorials and helpful information to Hudson users of all skill-levels
  • Recognize the numerous contributors to the Hudson project for their efforts


What to expect

As Continuous Blog grows and matures, you can expect to see a variety of Hudson-related content. Overviews of the latest releases of Hudson and its plugins, interviews and discussions with the developers who have contributed to Hudson over the years, guest posts by power-users on how Hudson fits into their workflow and much much more (really).

If you look around the page you'll already see a good amount of content, in the sidebar to the right you'll notice the "Recently Released" section which aggregates recently released plugins via this RSS feed , the "Blogs" section which is an aggregation of Hudson community blogs (from this RSS feed) and this Twitter list of Hudson contributors.

We're just starting out so make sure you subscribe to the RSS feed, we've got a lot to talk about here on Continuous Blog. <!--break-->

    I have an issue with hudson when it tries to checkout source files for a project from CVS. Let's say I've a project abc under xyz main directory. I need to check out abc directly, not as xyz/abc, using a tag TAG_1 in CVS. I am not able to do so. Is there any additional configurations we can do to achieve the same? One work around I've found is to have the files checked out using other third-party CVS tools and have hudson use these files for a build. But I guess, hudson should be able to manage all these by itself.

    Suggestions are warmly welcome.

    Thanks

    How easy to invoke other tools like IPSl from Hudson? If not, is it easy from Hudson to communicate with some port say X of some server? Data flow will be in the XML format or SPML?

     Any information regarding this would be appreciated.

    Hi Hudson Users and Experts,

    I have this issue that I have not been able to solve for some time.

    I have 2 jobs:

    - Both are normal Ant Jobs that pulls out of Subversion

    The issue here is:

    One of the jobs has a Customized Jumpstart in the repository and the Hudson Build will also build this jumpstart.

    However, everytime this Job builds, any subsequent builds that uses Jumpstart will start pointing to the customized Jumpstart in that particular build. This causes all other builds to fail because of the specific customized Jumpstart settings.

    Things Tried:

    - Setting Environment Variable JUMPSTART_HOME to point to Generic Jumpstart in Hudson (The Job using the customized Jumpstart will fail to build)

    - Pass in JUMPSTART_HOME as a variable to the jobs for the build. (Does not work)

    - Getting the build.xml to pick up the JUMPSTART_HOME variable from the system (Did not work unless Hudson Env Variable is set) 

    Seeking your Advice since there's not much documentation on this Item:  

    • Is there an issue with the build or is this a Hudson feature?
    • How do I keep the environment settings in each of these build separate even on the same Hudson Build Engine?

    Thanks!
